I haven't got anything against telling people what has been written about Jesus. I just think that you should always be saying that someone wrote it and it may not be true and that you should do your own digging for evidence. I'm struggling to see why it's supposedly better to make it hard for children to see the unadorned truth through all the mythology instead of just telling them the truth in the first place. But then I'm a simple man who goes around the place in awe of the wonderful beauty and sheer non-miraculous ordinariness of the world. I don't want nature described as some kind of allegorical fairy tale that I can't easily pick the bones out of. I trust it to be every bit as marvellous, and a damn sight more comprehensible, without that. Even spiritual.
